I mean the intellisense (autocomplete + docs + method signature) in xcode blows chunks compared to Visual Studio or even Eclipse.
Lots of things individually in Obj-C/Xcode are minor annoyances, but when you add them all together it's a very annoying toolchain. Comparing the UI/Polish in Apple products to Microsoft products, I figured that XCode would be one of the best dev environments ever. I think it's one of the worst.
It's not that any of the issues are insurmountable, I'd just rather not deal with them.
- madmoose 16y agoYes, it currently does suck. Thankfully the next version will intelligently incorporate Clang/LLVM which will improve the situation vastly.
- yardie 16y agoCompletely agree about the autocomplete and documentation in XCode. It's a complete waste and for a company that spends a lot of time focusing on snappy UIs I don't understand why its so slow...and stupid. The one redeeming quality is that Instruments and the tools package is quite nice. Our company pays good money to get the same level of software for visual studio.
- ido 16y agoI mean the intellisense (autocomplete + docs + method signature) in xcode blows chunks compared to Visual Studio or even Eclipse. That last sentence left me puzzled, seeing as how eclipse has much better "intellisense" for java than VS does for c++ & c# (at least out of the box - resharper brings it close to eclipse-levels with c#).
- scotth 16y agoAgree 100%. And if for whatever reason Resharper isn't available to you, then check out the Productivity Power Tools. They'll take you in the Eclipse direction. Not all the way, mind you, and they're buggy, but it's helpful nonetheless.
